Hello Jesse,
The source that we point our researchers to when they have questions about book conservation and repair is Michigan State University Library’s “Conservation Referral List” -
https://lib.msu.edu/preservation/conservation-referral-list. I do not have any particular recommendation of a specific conservator from among the list.
I hope this proves useful. Have a great day,

Subject: [External] [Michlib-l] Book Rebinding Service - seeking recommendations
Hello everyone,
A member of our Friends is looking to have a very old personal prayer book rebound. Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that rebinds books in Michigan? Also, I cannot for the life of me remember how to find our list of compiled
recommended services & vendors. Can anyone remind me?
Thanks very much!
Sincerely,
Jesse Shirtz
